Each such Assumed Restricted Unit Award shall be converted into a restricted unit award to receive a number of Parent Common Units (or the cash equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Partnership Common Units subject to such Partnership Phantom Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up or down to the nearest whole Parent Common Unit. Each Assumed Restricted Unit Award shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting, distribution equivalent rights and issuance) as were applicable to the Partnership Phantom Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time. (b) Each award of performance units that corresponds to Partnership Common Units, including Seconded Employee Performance Awards (each, a “Partnership Performance Award,” and together with the Partnership Phantom Units, the “Partnership Equity Awards”), that is outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, be measured as to performance as of the Effective Time (or a date reasonably proximate thereto) as determined in good faith by the GP Board and each such Partnership Performance Award shall, with respect to the number of Partnership Common Units that are considered earned with respect thereto based on the higher of actual performance or target shall, as of the Effective Time (the “Earned Performance Units”), be assumed by Parent and converted into an Assumed Restricted Unit Award, which shall have distribution equivalent rights and be eligible to vest solely based on continued service at the end of the performance period that was originally applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Earned Performance Units will vest upon a “qualifying termination” and, to the extent applicable, will incorporate the provisions related to termination due to “retirement,” as provided in the Partnership Phantom Unit Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Partnership Performance Awards granted in 2021, the number of Earned Performance Units shall be equal to the target number of units granted, regardless of performance. The number of Parent Common Units that are subject to such Assumed Restricted Unit Awards shall be equal to the number of Earned Performance Units with respect to the corresponding Partnership Performance Award, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up or down to the nearest whole Parent Common Unit. Any performance units that correspond to Partnership Common Units that are not Earned Performance Units shall, upon the Effective Time, automatically be cancelled for no consideration. (c) The General Partner shall take any and all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.6 and such transactions shall be subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
